Check out this AWESOME NEW MUSIC VIDEO “I Found A Whistle by psychedelic rock band MGMT”
MGMT’s most recent music video for the cover of “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything” by Bauhaus
Verses:
Dead in the water (On Earth, death is inevitable)
It’s not a paid vacation (It’s depressing)
The sons and daughters of city officials (the educated lucky ones)
attend demonstrations (are trying to make it more like heaven)
It’s hardly a sink or swim (No one knows if our efforts (science, money, religion) will work)
when all is well if the ticket sells (But it’s Working right now, So Earth ain’t that bad)
Out with a whimper (Here in the Universe, our peaceful death is inevitable)
It’s not a blaze of glory (Not like the ecstatic Big Bang)
You look down from your temple as people endeavour to make it a story (And if there is a God, we hope you enjoy our efforts)
And chisel a marble word, but all is lost if it’s never heard (There’s plenty of ways to leave your mark in the World. And I choose Music)
(People have made life easier to live)
I’ve got someone to make reports, that tell me how my money’s spent
(Many protect me from harm and comfort me)
To book my stays and draw my blinds, so i can’t tell what’s really there
(As long as they truly believe in me, I’ll be fine)
And all I need’s a great big Congratulations
(And I’ll live a good life)
I’ll keep your dreams (I promise to comfort you with my Music)
You pay attention for me (Just live a good life and I’ll be happy)
As strange as it seems (Even though some think I’m weird)
I’d rather dissolve than have you ignore me (I still want to leave a mark)
The ground may be moving fast, (You may never get to hear my music)
but I tied my boots to a broken mast (But as long as I live in this place I’ll keep playing)
The difference is clear (IF you don’t like my music)
You throw it in your cauldron (Just throw it out)
(There’s two sides to everything so I know that although some may love my music, some will hate it)
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn, steinways and baldwins
(If you don’t like my music, try making your own music, the equipment is available)
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
(And make it good)
and salt to taste
(For the people who don’t like me:)
Damn my luck and damn these friends, that keep on combing back their smiles
(Don’t worry I’ll find a way to be happy)
I’ll Save my grace with half ass guilt,
(Because I have family and friends that will forever love me dearly)
and lay down the quilt upon the lawn And spread my arms and soak up Congratulations
*Cheers* (The proof that he does)
MGMT performing their new song “Alien Days” at Osheaga 2012 —> Lyrics BELOW!
Sometimes the windows combine with the seams
in a way
that twitches on a peak at the place where the spirit was slain
one foot leads to another
night’s for sleep, blue curtains, covers
sequins in the eyes
that’s a fine time to dine
divine who’s circling, feeding the cards to the midwives
who love those alien days
the nonstop alien days
mmm the alien days
must’ve skipped the ship and joined the team
for a ride
a couple hours to learn the controls
and commandeer both my eyes
hey!
be quick dear, times are uncertain
one month crawling, next year blurring
decades in the drain
monograms on the brain
decide what’s working and what’s moved on
to the last phase
the floodgate alien days
I love those alien days
mmm the alien days
when the peels are down it feels like traveling in style
you don’t need wings to hover forty ton stones for a mile
and in the summer, virgin visions
mindless humming
numbers can’t decide if the day’s supposed to smile
today find infinite ways it could be
plenty worse
it’s a blessing but it’s also a curse
those days taught me everything I know
how to catch a feeling
and when to let it go
how all the scheming, soulless creatures
can’t find dreamer’s honey in the hive
if it’s right beneath the nose
and when the light is new
the sky shows trembling cartoons
you don’t need smoke to cover
most of the world in a gloom
but here comes racer number 7
watch my fingers ripping out the lines
if it looks like we could lose
if it looks like we could lose
if it looks like we could lose
if it looks like we could lose
FUN PSYCHEDELIC INTERPRETATION - “It’s Working” by MGMT
MGMT has said this song is about ecstasy. Okay.
*CLICK PLAY AND LISTEN WHILE YOU READ*
The beginning of the album Congratulations, represents the Big Bang, beginning Time and Space, fast-forwarding through the evolution of Galaxies, the evolution of the only place we know has Life and we finally reach Humanity, we finally reach You.

“Light confuses, The tiny Isles of Bruises” (Life is Confusing, in the Universe)
“The mangled lines” (Very Confusing, indeed) ”I see the signs of Aging” (But we’re getting Wiser)
(You feel so good on the Drug and you realize how beautiful being Alive is in the vast Universe)

“It’s Working in Your Blood, Which You Know is Not the Same as Love, Love is Only in Your Mind, Not Your Heart “
*Time begins to Slow*
(You begin to realize that you don’t need the Drugs to achieve what you want. As Love is Truly in Your Mind, Not Your Body.)
“NO! IT’S WORKING!” (You feel a bit better after this realization and start to feel better. As you now see the Drug for what it truly is. The Drug is Working”
(Solo: You Feel So Happy and extremely Hyper as you feel the Love course through your Body, You Feel it, and You Enjoy It!”)
“It’s Working in Your Blood, Which You Know is Not the Same as Love, Love is Only in Your Mind, Not Your Heart “
(You Want Others to Realize Your Realization about Life, Your Music, Drugs and the our Destiny in the Universe, and your realization that Drugs can give you negative and positive experiences. You just have to remember that you’re more important than the Drug, You Want to Pass this Newfound Knowledge onto the Next Generation of Drug Users)
“It’s Working in Your Blood, Which You Know is Not the Same as Love, Love is Only in Your Mind, Not Your Heart “
“It’s Working in Your Blood, Which You Know is Not the Same as Love, Love is Only in Your Mind, Not Your Heart “
“It’s Working in Your Blood, Which You Know is Not the Same as Love, Love is Only in Your Mind, Not Your Heart “
(As your Chant fades out, you begin to come down from the Drug, and get a little PARANOID,
